Conclusion

I cannot deny the truth that it is very harmful to our body. Despite the fact, there are many new type of Energy drinks that are constantly being produced and they are very attractive and inexpensive.

It is best not to drink energy drink, which seems impossible for some of people. If so, in my opinion, it is recommended to reduce drinking. Parents should put a break or ban drinking, children that are uncontrollable or teenagers. Also it would be a good idea not to sell energy drinks at school. In fact, it seems that many schools have already realized the potentially harmful consequences and not allowing energy drinks in school. Some of energy drinks, Monster and Rockstar as examples of drinks, banned in school sports competition. This is because of bad effects on student’s health and their game performances. When they drink it before the game, about halfway through, the rush would wear off and they would bottom out.

To conclude, Energy drinks should be controlled by adults for those who are young; however this is a matter of problem that we all should be in charge and take care of our own health.

drinking after exercise

Although you've probably seen energy drinks such as Red Bull being promoted at athletic events, or you've witnessed professional athletes drinking them however, high caffeine energy drinks don't go well with exercise.
It is true that drinking energy drinks are taking in more calories than they burn off through hard exercise and sports. Isn't this unfair and sad?
Walking a mile uses up an average 85 calories but a 500ml bottle of energy drink contains140 calories.
Energy drinks are just beverages that can simply stimulate your body and raise your energy for a short time. Long term effects of energy drinks might be dangerous. Reasons? Most sports drinks are not caffeinated but energy drinks are caffeinated very much. It is much better for you to drink sports drinks rather than energy drinks.

Energy drinks cause physical and mental problems

Energy drinks may cause severe physical and mental problems like  hypokalemia, hallucinations,rhabdomyolysis.
As I mentioned, Energy drinks contain too much caffeines. Drinks with the highest caffeine content should also warn of potential health dangers. Children with diabetes should be careful about drinking too many energy shots and some of the energy drinks contain sugars and other ingredients that could cause imbalances in their sugar and insulim levels.
Energy drinks typically contain other compounds that are also high in caffeine, such as guarana, yerba mate and cocoa. This will affect people badly, especially to young people.
 In general, caffeine can disturb children's sleep, which can actually compound energy problems since sleep deprivation can make children even more listless and tired. If they have too much of it, this will  lead to mental problem.
Some of people insist that they have improved mental alertness, reaction times, and concentration with energy drinks, but this would last only for short moment and this can lead to addiction which their body get worse and worse.
